"Je suis heureux de vous annoncer que dans la guerre entre la réalité et la romance la réalité n'est pas la plus forte"
— John Steinbeck
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, when we compare our dreams and emotions with the hard facts of life, it's not always the practical side that wins. Imagine you love painting but have a stable job you don't enjoy much. Even if reality says your job pays the bills and is the 'sensible' choice, your passion for painting can sometimes be the stronger force that brings you happiness. This quote highlights that dreams and love can often have more power over us than just sticking to what’s practical. People who follow their hearts and dreams, like artists or explorers, often achieve extraordinary things despite the tough realities they face. So, it suggests we shouldn’t always let the practical side take over; our dreams and passions are often more important and can lead to a more fulfilling life.
